"When in deadly danger,
When beset by doubt
Run in little circles
Wave your arms and shout."

The Battle of Iridonia was the first battle of the Hutt War between the Galactic Republic and the Hutt Empire. Following the conclusion of the Alsakan Crisis in 12,999 BBY, the Republic adopted a policy of expansion into the Mid Rim of the galaxy in order to gain support for any potential future conflicts. This expansionist policy proved to be a source of tension with the Hutt Empire of the Outer Rim Territories, as the Hutts feared that the Republic was planning to expand into the Outer Rim Territories and, with it, Hutt space. This led to more than a decade of failed negotiations and tense diplomatic relations between the two governments.

In 12,979 BBY, the Republic’s Supreme Chancellor, Homer Anthony Salandra, proposed a meeting with the Hutt leader, Gorrbag, on the neutral Mid Rim world of Iridonia where the two sides could discuss their respective issues. During the meeting, a battle broke out in orbit, though it was unknown who fired the first shots. Believing that they were overwhelmed, the Republic forces retreated from Iridonia, which sparked the Hutt War once the Hutts used the battle as justification to move their forces into the Mid Rim to combat the Republic.

Rakata by Solus

K...Krell.

That’s what they call it. The light up there. The light that travelled through the sky each day to disappear each night. That light. That was Krell.

What a funny name.

They had a name for everything - everything wasn’t just there, it had a name. Even different kinds of the same thing had a name. It was as if the Rakata had so much time on their hands that they decided to name everything.

What a funny way to waste time.

Grass, sky, stable, house, rain, Krell, Machine...and Us.
